The height of the statue is of 35 feet, applying similarity of triangles.
<h3>What are similar triangles?</h3>
Similar triangles are triangles that have congruent angle measures, thus the measures of their side lengths are proportional. This relation can be proven from the law of sines.
In the context of this problem, there are two similar right triangles, in which:
- Minh's height of 5 feet is proportional to the statue's height of x.
- The base formed by Minh's height, of 12 ft, is proportional to the base formed by the statue's height, of 84 ft.
Hence the following proportional relationship is established:
5/x = 12/84
Applying cross multiplication, it is found that:
12x = 84 x 5
Simplifying by 12, the expression is written as follows:
x = 7 x 5 (as 84/12 = 7).
x = 35 feet, which is the height of the statue.

First: work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing. Increase = New number - Original Number
Then: divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. % Increase = Increase ÷ Original Numberｘ100<span>
30 - 22 = 8
8</span> ÷ 22ｘ100 = 36.3636363636
Answer:
Total sales= 10000
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
monthly salary=$1500
commission on total sales= 5.75%
gross pay=$2,075
Firstly, let us deduct the salary
2075-1500=$575
so Saiah earned a commission of $575
let the total sales be x
so 5.75% of x= $575
5.75/100*x=576
0.0575x=575
x=575/0.0575
x=10000 sales
Answer:
x = 6.7
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that 3.5 + x = 10.2, so if we do inverse operations we can find out the value of x.
10.2 - 3.5 = 6.7
we can check our work by substituing it back in the equation for x
6.7 + 3.5 = 10.2
so now we know that x = 6.7. I hope this helps :)
